Too much dead space.

Oh...you mean around the edges?

I don't like to fill up a space completely. If we are going to be honest here...I would probably have just as many wine bottle on something like that as I would books.

You're like my fiancee I keep having to buy new bookshelves because she wants open space with knickknacks on the shelves

No knickknacks for me.

I just throw them on the shelf in no particular order. Then, when I have to find a book, I get to look through my entire collection and rediscover books I had forgot I had. Nostalgia trip generator: the best way.

And yet you could quote from any book you've ever read.

I organize in two different shelves, one i've already read and one i'm going to.
With the books i've already read, i arrange them in height and width, So for example If i have 10 books, i will make it so that the ones in the middle are the smallest ones and the ones at the both ends are the biggest ones.
It's a weird thing but I get obsessed with these things,.

This having of books phenomena started sometime between the losing of my library card and my entering into college.

I arrange books by size and sometimes color.

those designs can be kinda cool, yeah, have seen a lot of them. what sort of douchenozzle would want a main wall in their room instructing them to READ though. that's like having a neon sign behind your tv saying WATCH and a fridge that shouts at you EAT every time you open the door. that's some dumb shit.

At first thought, but it seems like it would work. No reason to bother splitting books up by size too much, series are easily grouped and there's less shelf-wear on the bindings from gravity.

I used to get rid of the books I have read but now I have this urge to display them. It also seems like a normal person thing to do and I want to seem normal, like I am. So, what are some rules to filling up a bookshelf?

I already know hardcover > softcover. What else is there?

Unspoken rules (from my point of view):

1) Balance your wallspace with bookshelves. Don't fill up every spare inch you have with shelves. Looks crowded.
2) Be as organized as you want. If you live alone, feel free to professionally catalog your stuff. With others, be satisfied with "by author," "series/#" and "title," because it will never stay in subcategories or the dewey decimal system.

How would this work with books of different sizes? Better for DVDs I reckon.
